This works but it is a step that will drive most users of VLC crazy to have to take that step.- Open a video in the VLC player
- Go to VLC > Preferences
- When the Pref window opens, click the button marked "All" instead of "Basic"
- Go to Video > Filters > Transformation
- In the Transformation drop-down, select the degree of rotation. If the video is sideways, then select "270 degrees"
- Click save.
- With the video open, go to "Window" > Extended Controls.
- In the EX popup, select "Video Filter" from the drop down. Then check "Transformation".
- The video will close.
- Re-open the video file. It should be rotated. If it's not rotated correctly, go back to Preferences and adjust the degree of rotation.
Because iOS uses an undocumented flag in mp4 to explain the rotation they use. Moreover, we don't have the API to do that from the demuxer level.Question: How come both VLC and Plex play this file upside down?
- Go to Tools > Preferences or press Alt-P- Open a video in the VLC player
- Go to VLC > Preferences
This is under show settings in the bottom left.- When the Pref window opens, click the button marked "All" instead of "Basic"
- Expand Videos and then Filters. Choose Transformation.- Go to Video > Filters > Transformation
Is this clockwise or counter clock wise? I think it's counter (anti-) clockwise. Wouldn't be hard to put one more word in there.- In the Transformation drop-down, select the degree of rotation. If the video is sideways, then select "270 degrees"
Lost me here but I finally figured it out.- Click save.
- With the video open, go to "Window" > Extended Controls.
What is the EX popup?- In the EX popup, select "Video Filter" from the drop down. Then check "Transformation".
you need to press close button. Use Media > open file to re-open the file- The video will close.

great ! thanksTry --video-filter
hum....Try --video-filter
This is no undocumented flag. It's just that VLC didn't support this flag until recently. We added support for this in the current development versions, so these files will be playing nicely (finally!) in the next major release of VLC (2.1 or something).
So does this mean the feature hasn't been implemented? or there needs to be more active testing of it?No.
